bone shattering ride in the city unless your bushings are worn out and will absorb the bumps. If you track the car, get the coilover. Otherwise get a sleeved spring and shock combo - like a skunk2 coil with an adjustable shock (I like the ride/performance level of the AGX, but I also wouldn't drop my car beyond 2"). If you are streeting the car, the full coilover is a little too agressive and the drop range absolutely useless (the skunk2 coil will go down 3" and that is stupid low).

Be practical in your decission as it may cost you money to fix it.

I think you would be looking at $1500 plus for any of the true coilover setups. Unless you could find them used....

doubt they are but they might be. If you dont know how much your dropped now then why would you even consider going with a coilver that you will be stuck at atleast 3" of drop. I bet you wont even need like 2.5inch drop

I would raise the coilover all the way up and see how much a drop you really need before making a decision like this.
